The Victorinox Swiss champ ?
It has so many functions, but is so fat that it's unwieldy.
Close, but no cigar. You're on the right track, though

Alright, the knife I'm thinking of this time is probably the most functional multi-blade folder out there, and at the same time, it has to be the least functional knife ever made.

Unwieldy, huh?

GT That mathematician's mind of yours helped make an excellent set of clues, anagrams, CODE:thumbup:
Might need a cypher-book for your next set of clues![]()
Sigh. I was afraid of that.What page has the list of prior entries?
OK: A bit of a riddle:
This Jack has a secondary tool that doesn't do it all, but it punches above its weight. In fact, you might have to rein it in.
Northfield Yankee jack / GEC #77 ?
sounds like one of the Schrade toothpick pattern folding multi-blade fishing knives. I don't know the OT number(s).
GEC makes fixed blades? Did not know that.

Would it perhaps be this knife?

Yes it would that imperial h6 you got there looks great and has a nice patina and has all of its edge left , my dad gave me his boyhood imperial hatchet as a kid but someone had taken the knife while he was in the army. I've wanted one for a long long time.
As soon as the seller receives my very reasonable 18$ payment my h6 will be shipped out, and I can hardly wait.
Anyways now it's your turn.
"Patina" is a generous term.When I first found it the knife had quite a bit of rust on it. I took care of that as well (and as gently) as I could, sharpened it up (takes a razor edge) and I love using it now.
Interesting that your dad gave you the hatchet that went with his, but didn't have the knife. Mine belonged to my great-grandmother (found the knife and sheath in her old fishing tackle box in our garage years ago), but it was missing the scout knife that would have come with it. Recently I came across a Kamp-King scout knife like I believe would have come with it originally, so I picked that up and now I have the pair.

Alright, now for the next clue:
This discontinued knife was made by a company probably most famous for their big, beefy lockback. The knife I'm thinking of is also a lockback, but is much smaller, has a drop point blade, and brass liners that sort of frame the handle scales all the way around. There were several colorful handle options, some in wood, some micarta. In addition to its three-digit model number, this knife had a name that sounds like a government department.
